Purpose

Get together project members to make decisions and tackle larger geospatial
problems (as done last year at the Boston_Code_Sprint_2013 and previous
years: Island Wood (2012),
Montreal (2011),
New York City (2010), and
Toronto (2009)). This code sprint is targeting
members of the "C Tribe" (e.g., MapServer, GRASS, GDAL, Proj, PostGIS,
MapGuide, OpenLayers). Other tribes are welcome to join the sprint, of course,
but we hope that "C Tribe" members will give this event special consideration.

Individual Preparation

Install subversion and the compiler tools, and come with a working development environment if possible

FAQ

Is the Vienna Code Sprint just a coding event?

Yes, a coding and documentation event. It is a working session for people who are already participants in open source projects.

Will it be possible to present new projects during this event?

No, this is not a presentation-oriented event. People will get together in small groups and work on areas of mutual interest within their projects.

Social Activities

TBD

Sponsors

We have three sponsorship levels:

Gold: €1500+, Silver: €1000, Bronze: €500

We encourage sponsors (€500+) to support nutriment and entertainment for the
sprinters as they work hard and play hard for five productive days.
Contributions will be put towards lunch, snacks, and dinner costs for the
sprinters, and potentially bringing in sprinters who might otherwise be unable
to attend. Any surplus at the end of the event will be turned over to OSGeo or
used for a future code sprint.

Sponsors will receive the following honors:
